At Open Hall if there is no rain, one night can be organized for a session of meditation in the middle of lanterns. Open Hall was designed to offer a good atmosphere closed to the Buddha time.
Gardening is an activity we can be closed to the nature. We live with the nature. We need to take care it. With mindful gardening we can create area and atmosphere to be green, clean and tidy. Then it will be a nice environment for everyone.
This area was designed as a garden under shade of big tree. A man-made waterfall with pond and beautiful fish make this area a really exceptional one. Someone mentioned about J.R.R. Tolkien and his fantasy land with this place.
To meditate with the fire is also another wonderful moment. Brightness and warmness of fire create very good atmosphere. Also it’s a special moment to be back to the nature.
Many people love this place for its calmness because it’s the hall which is furthest from any noise outside. Sound of nature at this place is really wonderful. You can listen birds, cricket, gentle wind, etc.
Open Hall is a hall with no roof and no wall. Or we say our wall paper is the forest and the roof is tree and sky. Either in the morning or sometimes we meditate here during the night, this place offers people another wonderful experience.
From July 2017 a silent full day* was applied during 3 days retreat. This practice starts from the first evening till next whole day. Participants are encouraged to spend more time with oneself.
